She explained that the handling process was carried out intensively and in coordination with various parties to ensure the track could be operated safely as soon as possible.

“The evacuation and track recovery process was successfully completed. On Wednesday night at 23:13 WIB, the locomotive was back on the rails and the evacuation of the Ciremai train was declared complete,” Anne stated.
